    Just A Random Thought (Rain Related)

    I love the rain feature in this years game, but I was wondering, shouldn't the stadiums be more empty during the rain? Every time I play a game and its raining the stadium is always packed. For some reason it doesn't look realistic to me like that.

    I don't know but it would be cool if in the game it looked like this when it rained



    (I mean the fans, not the actual stadium)

    It certainly would be more realistic.
    Perhaps have the "blowout" crowd(the fans leaving) trigger during a full on rain?

      There's a slight glitch where if it rains in Seattle the roof isn't closed and it rains on the field. I'm not sure about other stadiums, but this happened in an RttS game for me. They need to double check on that detail.

        It'd be more detail to add to an already great game.

          I would love to see more dynamic fans in all situations. Like having less fans when the home team is losing by 5 runs late in the game, or more noticeable road team cheers in the same scenario.

            thats not a glitch, there are no closed roofs on any stadium. they say it cant be dont without making a 2nd model of the stadium with the roof closed. though someone did point out that mvp 05 (if I recall right) had real moving roofs that opened and closed so it looks like it can be done. for me it doesnt matter, I dont see a point to having rainouts and delays in a video game unless its for scheduling double headers. if that was the case we should just have the option to rainout the game and schedule the double header. there wouldnt be any need for time to be spent on rain animations and closing roofs.

              You know I play on MOM and 1 actually manage 1 out of every 4 games while doing Sportscast Manager the other 3. I am in year 3 and still have not seen 1 game in the rain. Maybe it is just luck of the draw.

                Neither one of those pictures show how many fans there are when it's raining lightly enough to keep playing the game.

                Your pictures show "the harder it rains during rain delays, the fewr fans there are in their seats".

                It doesn't really have anything to do with the game.

                Fan attendance based on score, opponent, inning, etc would be pretty cool.

                  They didn't say they couldn't do it. They said they couldn't do it to the current model they have in the game. They would need to make an entirely new model of the stadium to incorporate the roof open(ing)

                  They already have this in....
                  In blowouts....fans leave....opponent and record already play into attendance.
                  It could be fine tuned though IMO.

                    Another thing that can be fine tuned with the crowd : IMO when you have only let say 15,000 in Miami, would be nice to have most of the people regrouped close to the diamond. Right now they are spread evenly around the stadium.

                    The other thing is the twins in the crowd. But that's probably due to PS3 memory limitation and won't be solved until next gen PS4. Sometimes I find myself dreaming what a wonderful game like the Show would look like on the PS4 !! ouch !!

                      they should then. they put in new models all the time with new stadiums, significant upgrades etc etc. I thought it was that they would have to have 2 models, one opened and one closed, but if all it takes is to replace the current model with one that has a working roof it should be done. personally I dont care about rain and roofs and I want gameplay/animations addressed before anything like rain delays and opening closing roofs that dont have a bearing on the actual playing of the game. some people care more about that than gameplay so I can sympathize with them wanting it in.

                        Easy to say.....
                        A lot of people should do a lot of things.(I can think of a ton here on O.S.!)...but..
                        in the case of SCEA and this feature, sure they would like it in, but it all comes down to time.....these stadiums are COMPLEX and with all the updates plus new stadiums.....it's a time eater.

                          Some good ideas in this thread, but as Knight has said what sounds easy to us can be a coding problem for SCEA.

                          If I may add my idea to further enhance the rain expierence....I would love to see the rain actually fall on the players. What I mean by this is if you go into replay mode and zoom in on the players it would be cool to see water dripping from the bill of the hat, or a uniform that looks like it's wet.

                          Now I realize this is something super detailed that probablly wouldn't add that much to the game, but just something I thought of to store in an idea folder. Also, I'm sure that would take a TON of work, and could even require a rehaul of the texture models.

                            C'mon...seriously!?
                            Haha...
                            I'm not saying that wouldn't be cool...and I'm sure we'll see this sooner than we think. But something like this should be on the back burner, imo.

                            All I'm saying is that the more advanced game systems become, I think developers (sports games in general) put too much effort into graphics and the way games LOOK rather than gameplay and the way games PLAY.

                            That's why I fear the ps4 already; I think sports games are just finally catching up to the quality they were on the ps2, and as soon as they start developing ps4 games, there could be an even longer catchup curve.

                            I certainly don't blame you for wanting to see details as impressive as this though...

                              Yeah I agree, nothing I would spend a whole dev cycle on at this point, much more important things to take care of..... I agree that in today's age, many people are super focused on the graphics of a game, and take the gameplay for granted. I think it's because they believe a good looking game will cover up any issues in the gameplay. (not that this is true)

                              I have seen it the other way around though, and still play some racing games from the early 2000's that are quite outdated graphic's wise, but are so supierour gameplay and animation wise, that it's just a better game overall.
